Oh, the humanity!

As an alleged Nazi and MAGAt bigot, I'm with you.

I’m a fan of chopped lemons with as little sugar as you can stand, whizzed, a slosh of water, sieved, and diluted as much as you like. And if you’re a glutton for punishment, whizz some sliced ginger with the rest. Very lively stuff.

It’s in the calendar!

Also gorgeous. There was also a five- or ten-minute filler series years ago of people doing what they were expert in - exquisite mending and making of everyday objects. Proper reality television.

It’s terrific.

I'm loving the small-dick energy.

Firstly, sorry about your ex - it must make the situation more personal. As to the building, a listed pub in my area had to be rebuilt, brick by brick, after an identical accident. Unless developers are aware that arson is an uncertain bet, accidents will persist.

Kiddie fiddler on the roof?

'The cells of these people are physically unable to respond to the testosterone produced by these testes. Yet, they would receive positive SRY tests and be excluded from competition.'
Prof Sinclair has not read the rules.
People with CAIS are eligible for female categories.

Handmaiden, basically.

Incredible, as in “WTAF were Oz legislators sniffing when they passed this misogynistic dogs’ dinner of an Act?”

Oh, yes… unforgettable.

Time for a shave, madam. And as madam is rather hirsute, possibly a back, sack and crack too?

What about citizens? When a government fires the umpire, we all have reason to wonder: What game are we playing? One danger certainly is that a future Bureau of Labor Statistics head might feel political pressure to fudge a jobs report. The deeper risk is cynicism, the quiet corrosion of faith in institutions. If we can't believe the numbers, how do we believe anything?

From Nobel prize-winning economist George Akerlof (and spouse of Janet Yellen) on the BLS during: maybe part of the problem is the type of umpire that Trump wants now is more like John Roberts, just calling strikes as the President undoes our institutions www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/o...

Could not agree more. Nasty views, and a publisher and credulous reviewers to spread them.

Great time to be eviscerating health services…

Glorious, isn't it?!

Yeah, blokes just need the correct USB connector or whatever from their ovaries to their new vagina and they're cool. And if you believe that, boys and girls, I have a bridge to sell you.

Invigoratingly stupid.

We Love Both Stephen King and
Stephen Colbert,but the Chumpster sure Doesn't.......

Others have noted that this means foreign-born people are LESS likely than UK-born people to be in prison. What I want to note is that The Times is now referring to foreign-born UK citizens as ‘foreigners’. This includes Boris Johnson, Sir Mo Farah, Emma Watson, Rory Stewart and little old me.

I loved Babylon Berlin for its gorgeous clothes (Volker Bruch's suits...), music and loucheness.

And the acoustics aren't bad either!

Quite the little Buddhist, isn't he? His attitude to other people's fathers is (it's Friday and I'm being nice) rather more sexualised than one might have expected.

Very male energy there, sir. And a strange obsession with dads' faces and your manly bits, if you don't mind me pointing that out.

It’s the satirists I feel sorry for.

A new set of knives, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, ++kill all humans++ a new set of knives, a new set of knives, ++kill all humans++ a new set of knives

Just lovely. Well played.

Bigly!
